I am developing a custom component with the help of the BP Custom Posts API, and I’ve figured many things so far. But now I’m stuck in trying to make the AJAX search for my custom posts work as with the other components. Every time I type in said component’s search box and hit the […]

Okay, I got the meta boxes and post saving in place. Now I have an issue with the custom post search, however. No matter what I enter into the search box in my custom post type’s index page, I am always sent to the site’s front page. I took a look at the template tag, and I can’t see anything wrong with it.
